winter would continue throughout the summer and this winter even had a name: Fimbul, one of the signs that Ragnarok would come.
In other words, Winter Is Coming!
Norse mytholgy is very interesting, with the Runes, the Gods and the Valkyries. An old video game, Ultima, was the first time I read about runes, and I was impressed a lot by the Norse culture. Of course, Christianity was built on the concepts of older religions, Roman, Norse and Egyptian, but this would be the subject of another post (or rather, several posts!).
Yes, there is no doubt where Martin got that from. I am looking forward to your post on mythology. I am very interested in that subject.
You might enjoy a series of steemit articles about runes, the Secrets of the Scandinavian Gods.
I am a little picky when it comes to the scripture of my forefathers, but I'll give it a look. Meanwhile you can see this image I made of Odin hanging in the Yggdrasil to gain to magic of the runes - called the mead of the skald:
